Chapter 411 Discussing the Marriage
"Your Highness's sincerity will be conveyed by your subject," Shen Li replied.
"Thank you, sir." Li Che bowed solemnly. "If you give me this opportunity, I will certainly live up to my vow today."
He knew that Shen Li's agreement was a sign of her approval of him.
"Your Highness, there's no need for that." Shen Li waved her hand slightly. She didn't believe in oaths and wanted to go back and ask Shen Yue what she thought.
When she left the palace, she passed through the long street, where several corpses had been found. All the palace servants who had been ordered to visit the site were pale-faced.
Especially when they saw her, it was as if they had seen a living Yama, and they were so frightened that their hands and feet trembled. They bowed repeatedly, afraid that if they were not polite enough, they would follow in the footsteps of the people in front of them.
The palace servants had heard of Shen Li's exploits outside the palace, but they never imagined that she could also wield such power within the palace. However, they couldn't even discuss it.
Shen Li's expression was cold. Her family was her bottom line, and anyone who crossed them would pay the price.
The person behind this cannot escape either.

Back at the Shen family home, the usually diligent father had also returned home early. The elderly couple sat in the room, not saying a word, and the atmosphere was very tense.
"Father, Mother, it's cool outside this afternoon, why don't you go sit in the yard?" Shen Li walked in, her tone relaxed.
Shen Zizai was not surprised to see Shen Li. He knew that his daughter must have found out as well, so he didn't say anything and just kept sighing.
"Li'er, you're finally back! Have you heard the rumors lately?" Xiao Bailing immediately got up to greet Shen Li.
"Mother, don't worry. This kind of attack won't cost us anything. We'll just deal with it." Shen Li reassured her mother in a relaxed tone.
Yu Die and Shao Yao exchanged a glance at each other at the door, sharing the same thought.
Their young lady isn't like this when she's out in public.
"Does Li'er have a good idea?" Shen Zizai asked.
He really couldn't think of a way to deal with these rumors. He couldn't very well kill all the people who were saying them, and even if he could bring himself to do it, the incident would be remembered even more vividly because of it.
"The Fourteenth Prince came up with the idea of arranging a marriage between him and Yue'er," Shen Li said frankly.
Shen Zizai and Xiao Bailing were both stunned and remained silent for a long time, but their thoughts did not stop.
Although the engagement cannot completely dispel the rumors, and there will still be talk of Shen Yue's indiscretions, much of it will fade away once the relationship is legitimate.
The lovers are in love; what business is it of people from beyond the Great Wall?
“The Fourteenth Prince is still young, I’m afraid this is not a good match for him,” Xiao Bailing said with some concern.
By calculation, Shen Yue is three years older than Li Che.
Shen Zizai thought for a moment and then said, "If they are mutually in love, it would be a beautiful story, but I wonder what Yue'er thinks?"
“If Your Highness is willing, and Yue’er is willing, then as her mother, I will naturally not refuse,” Xiao Bailing quickly replied.
She was just worried that the two children wouldn't get along. If they were mutually attracted, parents should always support them.
Moreover, she also liked Li Che very much, who was very much like Shen Zizai in his youth. He looked mature and steady at a young age, and seemed very honest.
In the end, the elderly couple still asked Shen Li to find out Shen Yue's thoughts.
As soon as Shen Li entered the courtyard, she saw Shen Yue practicing archery. She saw her small body fully drawn up the bow, and as soon as she let go, the bowstring flew out with a "whoosh" and hit the center of the target hard.
But Shen Yue, who had shot the arrow, showed no joy. It wasn't until she heard the voice and turned around to see Shen Li that she beamed with happiness: "Sister, sister, you're finally back! It's so boring at home. In two years, I'm definitely going to take the martial arts exam to become the champion."
